Hi Christopher,

Yes, you're right. I used instances because thats what tomcat says
when it's shutting down.

Not really. I dont have the exact numbers, but I think we'd get at
most 50 users every 10 minutes = 5 users / min. I believe that´s
pretty low.
I already had several memory problems with BDB XML - thought I had
hunted them down, but now I start to have the same problems. I don't
think it's related to the fact that searches are returned to
ArrayLists, which are pretty common operations and we get bigger
results with time - I assume the garbage collector cleans them all.
But BDB XML works with bindings for Java, and so there's a lot of
memory allocation issues.

Yeah, its not crashing. Nor the JVM either. They get very, very
slow because Linux starts to swap like crazy, after the Tomcat process
eats almost 100% of RAM. I'm pretty sure it´s not a burst, but
something that progressively gets allocated and not deallocated. I'm
not sure why, but thanks for the idea of the profiler. I'll dig for
one.
